| Ask any taxi driver for a good Chinese restaurant in El Poblado and you willl probably be whisked to Asia.
But, despite the colourful fish tank and the sweet smell of Chinese cooking, you are unlikely to forget that you are not anywhere near the continent in the far East.
Indeed, the fish are not on the menu, but even if they were, it would do little to change the fact that Asia's menu is short and uninspiring.
Furthermore, despite being very expensive, the food is just like any other Chinese restaurant in any other part of Medellin.
Luckily, you can order half portions which on their own are big enough to dismantle your hunger, or combined with each other, add some variety to the meal.
As the evening draws on, a much bigger problem becomes apparent. Not devoting all your mental resources to the food, you may begin to notice the background music which comes straight out of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Before too long, the orchestral sounds will have you scanning the dining area looking for a mouse hole or demented cat. |
